Three Kings Killed and Seven Submit

Dani'el 7:24 and Revelation 17:12-13 and 17

DIG: Who are the ten horns? Who is the
other king who will rise among them? How is he
different? What will be the end result? Were does this fit in the big picture of
things?

The attempt of the antichrist to gain political control will only be delayed by
his supposed death. But after his counterfeit resurrection, the second world war
of the Great Tribulation will continue until three of the ten kings are killed.
The ten horns are the ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them
another king will rise, different from the earlier ones. He will subdue three
kings (Daniel 7:24). This other king will be the antichrist.

Once the three kings are killed, the other seven submit to his authority.
The
ten horns you saw are the ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who
for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast, or the
antichrist. They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the
beast (17:12-13). The same point is made later. For God has put it into
their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power
to rule, until God’s words are fulfilled (17:17). The seven other kings will all
agree to relinquish their power to the antichrist. With that decision, he will
succeed in taking over the political control of the whole world, with the
exception of Bozrah in Jordan where the majority of the Jews will take refuge.
The second political system of the Great Tribulation will be started at that
point. The next goal of the beast will be to gain control of the world’s
religious system. He will need to remove all opposition. This will include
religious Babylon, the two witnesses and, of course, those bothersome Jews.
